Jerusalem 1648 Map
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Engraved hand colored map from 1648 of ancient Jerusalem by the Visscher Family cartographers. The practice of illustrating Bibles began in the sixteenth century with five traditional subjects typically included: the Patriarchs, the Exodus, the Twelve Tribes of Israel, Christ and the Gospels, and the Wandering of St. Paul. To this, the Vissher family added an imaginary bird's-eye view of Jerusalem with East at top. Map measures 19.5'' x 14''. Folds, light soiling and small tape shadow to blank margins. Very good condition.
